What steps should I follow to have apt-get install the most recent version of Boost?

edit

First, update your list of available packages to ensure you have the most recent version information. Enter the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update

Once the update process is complete, enter the following command to install the most recent version of Boost:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

This command will install all available Boost libraries and headers onto your system. If you only need a specific library or set of libraries, you can replace "libboost-all-dev" with the specific package names, such as "libboost-filesystem-dev" or "libboost-thread-dev".

Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by checking the version number of Boost. You can find this by entering the following command:

apt-cache policy libboost-all-dev

If the version number matches the most recent version available, then you have successfully installed the most recent version of Boost through apt-get.
